<p>Gov. Rick Scott will hold on to his job in Florida, NPR projects, as the Republican narrowly defeats Charlie Crist, the former GOP governor who was running as a Democrat.</p>
<p>Earlier, Arkansas voters elected Asa Hutchinson as their new governor.</p>
<p>We'll update this post with other gubernatorial race results, particularly in contests that are expected to be close. You can also follow our special coverage at <a href="http://elections.npr.org/">NPR's Election Party</a>.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Update at 1:10 a.m. ET: Quinn Loses; More Results</strong></strong></p>
<p>In Illinois, Republican Bruce Rauner is projected to beat Democrat Pat Quinn, with the margin of victory 51 percent to 46 percent. But as <a href="http://www.wbez.org/news/rauner-declares-victory-race-illinois-governor-quinn-says-more-votes-still-need-be-counted">member station WBEZ</a> reports, Quinn said he won't concede, noting the votes remaining to be tallied.</p>
<p>Massachusetts filled its open seat in the governor's office with Republican Charlie Baker, handing Democrat Martha Coakley a narrow loss.</p>
<p>In Kansas, incumbent Republican Sam Brownback edged Democrat Paul Davis with a projected 50 percent of the vote to 46 percent <a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/09/11/347689750/in-kansas-governors-race-a-tale-of-two-states" target="_blank">in a surprisingly competitive, closely watched race</a>.</p>
<p>The Colorado race is very close, with Gov. John Hickenlooper trailing Republican Bob Beauprez by less than 1 percentage point with 85 percent of precincts reporting.</p>
<p>The Connecticut race is also tight, with only 1 point separating Tom Foley and Democratic incumbent Dan Malloy.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Update at 12:10 a.m. ET: Hogan Wins In Maryland</strong></strong></p>
<p>Taking an open seat, Republican Larry Hogan has beaten Democrat Anthony Brown in the race to be Maryland's governor. Brown conceded the tight race shortly after midnight.</p>
<p>He'll be <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/campaign-2014/bs-md-governor-20141105-story.html#page=1" target="_blank">only the second Republican governor of the state in the past 50 years</a>, notes the Baltimore Sun.</p>
<p><strong>Update at 11:30 p.m. ET: Georgia Re-Elects Deal</strong></p>
<p>Gov. Nathan Deal has won re-election, NPR projects, defeating Democrat Jason Carter.</p>
<p><strong>Update at 10:50 p.m. ET: Walker Wins In Wisconsin</strong></p>
<p>Republican Gov. Scott Walker has won re-election, defeating Democrat Mary Burke. The race was viewed <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/campaign-2014/bs-md-governor-20141105-story.html#page=1" target="_blank">as a major hurdle ahead of a potential presidential bid for Walker</a>.</p>

Speaking personally, I can't remember the last time I even turned my printer on. It's sat gathering dust.</p> <p>So if you're missing it, you'll get it at some point. And that's good to know.

<p>It's time for your week in review. In case you missed any of the technology and culture coverage on the airwaves and around the Internet this week, here's a look back:</p>
<p><strong>ICYMI</strong></p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/11/244570695/q-a-a-time-of-collaborative-consumption">theme week was the sharing, or peer, economy</a>, which describes the brave new-ish world of putting to use underutilized assets like our couches, talents, time and in one case, <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/07/29/206493794/a-new-app-will-let-you-share-your-leftovers-with-strangers">leftover food</a>. Steve Henn <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/13/244860511/whats-mine-is-yours-for-a-price-in-the-sharing-economy">reported on Airbnb</a> and the big rise of this movement, Laura Sydell looked back at the earlier <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/11/244568849/what-todays-online-sharing-companies-can-learn-from-napster">online sharing world of Napster</a>, Sonari Glinton took ride-sharing service <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/14/245242805/for-ridesharing-apps-like-lyft-commerce-is-a-community">Lyft for a ride</a> and I explored how the sharing economy <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/14/244568645/how-the-sharing-economy-is-changing-the-places-we-work">is changing the modern workplace</a>. Our friends at the Two-Way blog also "shared" in this reporting, introducing us to a way to <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/11/14/245278395/travelers-rent-their-cars-out-at-airports-in-a-new-business-model">rent your car out while you're out of town</a>, instead of just parking it at the airport.</p>
<p>Elsewhere on the blog, Laura <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/15/245387937/will-new-playstation-xbox-click-beyond-the-hard-core-gamer">previewed the big gaming console releases</a> (next week is gaming week on All Tech), we showed you how you, too, <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/08/243951594/for-a-few-hundred-bucks-you-can-make-your-own-3-d-printer">can make a 3-D printer</a>, and for the weekly innovation <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/12/244828150/this-device-lets-you-order-a-pizza-with-the-push-of-a-button">we picked the PiePal</a>, which lets you push a button to order a pizza. Yep.</p>
<p><strong>The Big Conversation(s)</strong></p>
<p>How much is Snapchat worth? It's clear <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/14/245234352/snapchats-big-news-week-and-questions-about-its-worth">its founders think</a> the answer is more than $3 billion. The ephemeral photo-texting service rejected a buyout offer from Facebook, and not long after that news broke, Snapchat got implicated in a child pornography investigation in Canada. Meanwhile, HealthCare.gov's <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/13/245051262/the-tech-stats-we-now-know-about-healthcare-gov">tech woes</a> were the focus of a House Oversight panel investigation, and a separate House panel <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/15/245399200/internal-emails-reveal-warnings-healthcare-gov-wasnt-ready">released documents</a> showing the July warnings that things weren't looking good, preparation-wise. IT procurement is getting more love and attention from Washington figures, so earlier in the week we featured a handful <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/11/11/243799076/a-few-places-where-government-tech-procurement-works">examples of government IT projects</a> that actually worked.</p>
<p><strong>Other Curiosities</strong></p>
<p><em>The</em> <em>Washington Post</em>: <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/11/14/google-books-ruling-is-a-huge-victory-for-online-innovation/">Google Books Ruling is a huge win for online innovation</a></p>
<p>After a decade, a judge ruled in favor of Google's effort to scan millions of books and build a book search engine.</p>

<p>This study suggests that kids who drop out of school but have computers at home do better than those who graduate but don't have home computers.</p>

<!-- End image here --><p>Stanford University scientists have created a silicon-based water splitter that is both low-cost and corrosion-free. The novel device a silicon semiconductor coated in an ultrathin layer of nickel could help pave the way for large-scale production of clean hydrogen fuel from sunlight, according to the scientists. Their results are published in the Nov. 15 issue of the journal <i>Science</i>.</p>&#13;
<p>"Solar cells only work when the sun is shining," said study co-author Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford. "When there's no sunlight, utilities often have to rely on electricity from conventional power plants that run on coal or natural gas."</p>&#13;
<p>A greener solution, Dai explained, is to supplement the solar cells with hydrogen-powered fuel cells that generate electricity at night or when demand is especially high. </p>&#13;
<p>To produce clean hydrogen for fuel cells, scientists have turned to an emerging technology called water splitting: Two semiconducting electrodes are connected and placed in water. The electrodes absorb light and use the energy to split the water into its basic components, oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere, and the hydrogen is stored as fuel. </p>&#13;
<p>When energy is needed, the process is reversed: The stored hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen are combined in a fuel cell to generate electricity and pure water. </p>&#13;
<p>The entire process is sustainable and emits no greenhouse gases. But finding a cheap way to split water has been a major challenge. Today, researchers continue searching for inexpensive materials that can be used to build water splitters efficient enough to be of practical use.</p>&#13;
<p><b>Silicon solution</b></p>&#13;
<p>"Silicon, which is widely used in solar cells, would be an ideal, low-cost material," said Stanford graduate student Michael J. Kenney, co-lead author of the <i>Science</i> study. "But silicon degrades in contact with an electrolyte solution. In fact, a submerged electrode made of silicon corrodes as soon as the water-splitting reaction starts."</p>&#13;
<p>In 2011, another Stanford research team addressed this challenge by coating silicon electrodes with ultrathin layers of titanium dioxide and iridium. That experimental water splitter produced hydrogen and oxygen for eight hours without corroding.</p>&#13;
<p>"Those were inspiring results, but for practical water splitting, longer-term stability is needed," Dai said. "Also, the precious metal iridium is costly. A non-precious metal catalyst would be desirable."</p>&#13;
<p>To find a low-cost alternative, Dai suggested that Kenney and his colleagues try coating silicon electrodes with ordinary nickel. "Nickel is corrosion resistant," Kenney said. "It's also an active oxygen-producing catalyst, and it's earth abundant. That makes it very attractive for this type of application."</p>&#13;
<p><b>Nickel nanofilm</b></p>&#13;
<p>For the experiment, the Dai team applied a 2-nanometer-thick layer of nickel onto a silicon electrode, paired it with another electrode and placed both in a solution of water and potassium borate. When light and electricity were applied, the electrodes began splitting the water into oxygen and hydrogen, a process that continued for about 24 hours with no sign of corrosion. </p>&#13;
<p>To improve performance, the researchers mixed lithium into the water-based solution. "Remarkably, adding lithium imparted superior stability to the electrodes," Kenney said. "They generated hydrogen and oxygen continuously for 80 hours more than three days with no sign of surface corrosion."</p>&#13;
<p>These results represent a significant advance over previous experimental efforts, added Dai . "Our lab has produced one of the longest lasting silicon-based photoanodes," he said. "The results suggest that an ultrathin nickel coating not only suppresses corrosion but also serves as an electrocatalyst to expedite the otherwise sluggish water-splitting reaction.</p>&#13;
<p>"Interestingly, a lithium addition to electrolytes has been used to make better nickel batteries since the Thomas Edison days. Many years later we are excited to find that it also helps to make better water-splitting devices"</p>&#13;
<p>The scientists plan to do additional work on improving the stability and durability of nickel-treated electrodes of silicon as well as other materials.</p>&#13;
